A forbidden Love (me xZara)

"True we are pretty much permanently grounded to begin with."Claire said joking a bit as the two of them cuddled in the back seat of the cab. She knew the driver was watching but she didn't care as long as he focused enough on the road to get the two of them home safely. Claire took a brief moment to enter Halyna's number into her own phone using the same name for her.

"Mmmm I think we have a slightly larger mansion." Claire joked as sticking her own tongue out at her lover. Before the cab pulled away she pulled Halyna close for own last kiss before they had to part ways. "Call or text me when ever you need me Cutie." Claire said giving her one last soft kiss before the taxi left her there and drove off with Claire. Claire let out a soft sigh as she told the cabbie her address which was a fair distance away. The ride home was the worst as she was alone and knew she was walking into a lecture. Here only hope was that her parents fell asleep and she could sneak in.

"Here , keep the change." Claire said pulling out a few large bills which covered more then double of the two fares combined and handed them over to the driver. Slowly Claire walked into the house sighing as she saw one of the older butlers blocking the stairs."You're parents want you in the study now Ms.Reed." He said still blocking the stairs as he waited for her to go off. She sighed again as she made her way over. For the next hour her parents tore into her about leaving the party without telling them, and most of all leaving her date so soon. the only thing that kept her going was the memories of dancing and going on a date with Halyna.

Finally she was allowed to leave as she ran upstairs and changed into a silk night gown before crashing on her bed.She slept through the night her dreams being the only safe place the two of them could be together. And despite the awful end to her night she woke up with a smile on her face." Good morning beautiful." Claire texted Halyna as she sat up in bed.
 
As Halyna climbed out of the cab, happily, she was almost pulled back in for a kiss from Claire. She stood there, knees growing weak from the kiss and also from the position she was stood in in her heels (but mostly from the kiss). She didn't care what the cabbie though at this point and kissed with the same passion that Claire was giving, knowing that they wouldn't be seeing each other for a while.

As the taxi pulled away, she was still stood there in the same position, speechless and unable to move a muscle. "Goodnight" she whispered after a moment to no one else but herself and then made her way up the long path home.

She was full of dread thinking about lying to her parents, she was always a terrible liar and it wasn't at all in her nature to be deceitful but she would have to make an exception tonight. The dread could not stop the lightness and warmth in the her heart however. She felt as if she was floating or drifting through the grounds rather than walking. She was in love and nothing could change that.

As she made her way through the grounds and up the steps of the mansion, before she even reached the top, the front door swung open to reveal her mom stood there wearing the same dress from the party but a much more ugly expression.

"And where do you think you have been young lady?" She asked, the anger clear I her voice. "Not one text or call to me or your father, I almost called the FBI."

Halyna sighed as she passed her mom and entered the lavish atrium of the mansion. It seemed all the staff were in bed.

"I was fine mom, I'm here now. I'm sorry I didn't Tel you and daddy where I was though." And she did mean the last part. She sighed I relief as she slipped out of her heels. Her mom's expression seemed to soften a little when she hears Halyna's apology but she still kept up her lecture.

"Well that may be so but what were you thinking leaving the party on your own?"

Halyna sighed knowing what she had to do. "I wasn't alone, I was... with a date." She said, not being able to bring herself to say she was with a boy.

Her mom's expression changed instantly from anger to pure delight. "A date? Oh Halyna thats wonderful. Is he handsome oh oh, is he rich?" She gushed over her daughter.

Halyna chose her words carefully. "Yes they're very attractive and I think they might be richer than us as well."

"Richer than us huh? Your father will be so proud. Oh I like him already."

"I thought you might" Halyna muttered under her breath as she headed for the stairs, carrying her shoes.

"What was that dear?" Her mom said looking suspicious.

"I said goodnight. I'm really tired. Can we talk tomorrow?"

With that, Halyna retired to her room, dressed in some light cotton pajamas and went to sleep. She hadn't realised how much her date had taken it out of her.

...

Halyna woke the next morning with a start as her phone chimed alerting her of a text. She blearily reached over and grabbed the phone and saw that it was from Bunny. She lay there for a moment still half asleep trying to remember who Bunny was but then all the events of the previous night came flooding back to her and a broad smile spread across her face. She read the text and her smile grew eve larger if that were possible as it wasn't just a good dream, it was real.

"Good morning yourself." She replied, "How was your interrogation? Mine went pretty good. I told her I was on a date and said I was tired xxx"
 
"Sorry you had to lie to your parents, but glad it went well for you. Mine not so much had both parents lecturing me. Stuck with the friend story since my driver told them that. As punishment for skipping my first date our families are going to go out together are supervising the whole thing. Feel like I'm 13 again." Claire texted back laying back down in her bed stretching a bit as she really didn't want to get up and leave her room. Her parents weren't the kind to only lecture her once as the next week would be filled with snide remarks of what she did.

Eventually she got up dressing in a matching black silk robe she headed downstairs carrying her phone with her as talking to Halyna was the only thing she cared about right now. She had a small breakfast fixed up for her and sat in sun room over looking the gardens. "any plans for today?" she texted before taking a few sips of her coffee
 
As Halyna received the reply, she heard the distinctive sound of the front door open and slam shut, promptly followed by the sound of the limo pulling away from the house. It appeared her mom and dad had gone out as left her alone for the day.

"That sucks, I'm sorry :( And don't worry, I won't get jealous of you going out on a date with someone else ;)"

She smiled as she sent of this text still dozing in bed.

"No plans yet. My parents just went out for the day so I'm home alone. How about you babe?" She giggled a little at the fact she had actually said babe in text. It was the little things of the relationship that Halyna was beginning to notice and appreciate.
 
"I'd chew off my arm if i had to to get out of it and be with you. It's just to keep up appearances." Claire sent back smiling a little to herself as she worked on her breakfast and gazed out at the view. Her peaceful morning was interrupted as her mother joined her taking the spot across from her. She put her phone on low and flipped it over as she didn't want her mother to see it.

"I just got off the phone the Griffins we're all set for tonight. Oh and I took the liberty of telling Jason that you are usually shy and nervous around boys you like to explain you're little stunt last night. You're welcome." Claire's mom said her voice digging into Claire as she hated being told what to do and now feel. "Thanks, appreciate that mom." She said a bit sarcastically back to her.

"Need we remind you that your marriage to the Griffins is important to Our company. It will seal our control not only in this city but the eastern coast. You'll learn to love him. I learned to like being with you're father and slowly learned to love him."Her mother added her voice getting sharper as her anger built up more. "Oh yeah because you and dad are the ideal couple. I can barely stand how lovey-dovey you too are" Claire quipped back before storming off to the gardens taking her coffee with her.

Her mood was pretty sour until she saw that she missed a text from Halyna calling her babe and it evened her out." All alone might have to sneak over there then. And nothing I'm on lock down until tonight."Claire texted back she wanted to tell her parents plan but it was something she wanted to do face to face. "Are you free tomorrow? I want to see my little love bunny as soon as possible."
 
Halyna reluctantly climbed out of bed and stretched wearily. She wasn't a morning person and at times wasn't even an early afternoon person but she knew she had better get up and do something. She tucked her phone into the pocket of her pajama bottoms, slid on a pair of slippers and headed through the labyrinth of corridors to get some breakfast.

As she tiredly shuffled around the house, she replied to another text.
"No don't do that! :0 If you gnaw your arm off, how can I get your cuddles?"

As she made it to the dining room, she saw that the spread that had been prepared for her parents had been left out and attended by one of the staff members. He looked up and shook his head as she groggily approached the table and started pouring herself a bowl of cereal.

"Mistress Halyna, you know how your parents feel about you shambling about the house in your sleeping clothes, it's unseemly and unbefitting a lady of your station." He said, irritated.

Halyna just looked up at him at bleary eyes and smiled sweetly, pretending to not have heard him before sitting at table, collecting a glass of orange juice on the way.

Breakfast worked wonders waking her up. As she read her new text she giggled out loud at the sight of "love bunny" and looked around to see the staff member giving her a very odd look indeed. She composed herself and promptly left for her room again.

"Love bunny huh? :D I'll have to work on a pet name for you now! I'd like nothing more for you to come over but some of the staff are still here :(" she stopped in her tracks for a moment as she had an idea to ease Claire's predicament. "What restaurant are you going tonight with your future husband tonight? ;) I could try and grab something to eat there too tonight. Get a table where I can see you and you can see me but far enough away that I don't get spotted. I don't want you to be alone sitting through that."
 
"Awwwww thank you cutie would help but not sure if I'll be able hold myself back around you ;). I think we are going to a French restaurant a few blocks away from the party last night. I forgot what the name was. I still want to try and have a second date with you tomorrow."Claire texted back feeling a bit better about tonight knowing she would have some form of support there. It would hurt a little only being able to see her and not be able to touch or kiss her lover. Her own body was craving her touch again.

The rest of the morning went by fairly normal as Claire hung out in the gardens taking a few pictures for reference when she saw the bunnies that lived on their grounds. It was still awkward between Claire and her parents as her little spark up with her mother only made things worse.It was harder now lying to her parents about being gay as she wanted to come out now and end this forced date. But a small part of her doubted that they would call it off even if they knew after all her parents were an arranged couple.
 
When back in her room, showered and dressed in a cami top and pair of jeans before rushing back to her phone to see if she had a message and another brainwave hit her as she read it.

"I'd feel the same too :p that's why maybe we have a signal. You tug your right ear or something like that and go into the bathroom and I'll follow you in." Halyna giggled from the naughtiness f the plan. "Then you can tell me in person how much you can't hold yourself back. Maybe you could even look over at me when you need to pretend to be attracted to Mr. Wonderful ;)"

Halyna began looking through her walk in wardrobe for a dress to wear for the night ahead, eager to entice Claire as much as she could from the distance while still remaining classy"
 
"I love you, that will work perfectly and give me a reason to not look miserable tonight. Just give it a moment encase my mom follows me in." Claire texted back now actually happy for tonight. She wandered back into the house walking past her mother who only glared at her as she passed by not wanting to fight with her at the moment.

She flopped back on her bed laying down still in her night gown as she had no plans of leaving the house before the dinner date and saw no reason to change twice. She heard a knock on her door and sighed as she opened it expecting her parents but was surprised when one of the younger maids walked in holding new black dress in one hand and a bag with new shoes in the other. "You're mother had me get these for you Claire. I'll be back later to help get you ready for your big date." The maid said taking the clothes back as it was clear that Claire's parents didn't trust her to not ruin the night.

The rest of the day seemed to fly by as Claire finally got showered and began to get ready for tonight with the help of the maid from earlier. "Getting ready to head out soon." Claire texted sneaking a quick message to her before she finished up her makeup and hair. "You look wonderful dear, now be nice and try to give it a fair chance." Claire's mm said as she opened the door and escorted Claire down and into the limo.
 
"Imagine if she walked in on that :p Do you know what table you are at so I can book one nearby? I'll get on that once I choose what to wear ;)"

Halyna set herself back to rummaging through her wardrobe looking for the right dress to make Claire's night. After ten minutes of searching, she was growing frustrated before she pulled out a tight black dress which ended just above the knee which also had sheer sleeves and neck. "Perfect" she said to herself, quickly matching it with a pair of elegant high heeled pumps.

With that layed out, she set about with the second phase of her plan.

"Mom, I've got another date tonight and I'll be gone when you get back, I don't know how late I'll be but don't worry, I'll be fine. X"

She sent the text and almost immediately received a reply giving Halyna her b!easing and so she set about getting ready.

Just as she had finished her hair and makeup, received another text from Claire letting her know she was leaving. Halyna smiled and grabbed her purse and headed to the car she had waiting for her outside. She didn't request the limo as tat would draw attention so she would be in the back of a standard, yet insanely expensive car. She gave the driver the directions and then flicked on her phone to send a message.

"On my way there. Remember it's just the first date, make him work for it XD xxx"
 
"I will make sure it's nothing like our first date ;), we're at table 12 in the back "Claire texted back hiding her phone from her parents who were sitting across from her. "Give me your phone Claire you've already wasted one chance with him."Her father said extending his hand out and waiting for her to place it in his palm. She would have been worried about being bored as she knew Halyna would be there for her.

Once at the restaurant the Reed family joined up with the Griffins and the tree exchanged quick hellos before the were seated at their table. "I'm sorry about last night Jason." Claire said trying to force herself to be polite and sound sincere. "It's okay I know why know, didn't peg you for the nervous type." He replied kissing her hand before pulling out her chair for her. She nearly gagged as any contact that wasn't Halyna was unwanted especially from a guy. She gave him a quick thank you before focusing down on the menu. she glanced up hoping to see her true date as she wanted to know which way to give the signal.

The conversation was awkward at best as the parents talked business and the two of them retold their tales from college. It wasn't horrible but she couldn't see herself going beyond this level with him. Once she spot her lover she fixed one of her earnings before excusing herself to the bathroom. She was thankful it was empty as she touched up her make up while she wanted.
 
As her car arrived, Halyna quickly excused herself from the driver, thanking him but saying he could go and she would call him if she needed him. She headed to the entrance and was immediately met by the maitre'd from whom she requested a table in the back a little away from table 12 as she said she remembered it being a little drafty for her there. The maitre'd happy obliged and several waiters appeared and guided her to her table. She ordered absent mindedly, her attention on the other tables but ten she saw Claire. When she had ordered and the waiters had left, she did her best to catch Claire's eye, even blowing a couple of kisses when she was sure no one was looking.

From her face, Halyna could tell that Claire was rather bored. Eventually, Claire caught sight of Halyna and the signal was made. Excitement built up in Halyna as she waited a little after Claire had disappeared before joining her to the bathroom.

She found her beautiful date touching up her makeup. "You don't need to be doing that, you're gorgeous enough already" she said approaching her.
 
"I just wanted to act natural encase someone else walked in. thanks for doing this for me cutie." Claire said smiling brightly as she put done her bag and rushed over to Halyna wrapping her arms around her. "and you even got all dressed up for me too, you look stunning." Claire added as her eyes refocused on her face. She planted deep kiss on her holding it for a while as her hands held her tight caressing her sides, everything out there was worth it to have this.

"So can you hear us from where you are sitting? And want do you think of my fiance?" Claire asked breaking the kiss but still held her close. She did keep an eye on the door as any sound of someone coming in and the two of them would have to put their cuddling on hold. She also had to be weary of the time as she couldn't spend all night in here.
 
"Hey, I wanted to see you too, this isn't a chore, good food and an incredible view." Halyna says grinning as Claire came to hug her. Halyna put her arms around Claire's shoulders and hugged her back. "Look who's talking" she said, still smiling as their lips met. She closed her eyes and melted into the kiss, enjoying every moment and making up for the hours they had been separated.

As the kiss broke, Halyna kept her arms around Claire's shoulders and grinned at her. "I can hear bits, it doesn't sound too interesting, no offense but your future husband is a real bore." She winked at Claire.
 
"I know, but I feel bad for you having to watch from a far and see me with someone else." Claire said swaying Halyna a little bit in her arms like they were dancing. "You're not missing much mostly business from my parents and really boring school stories from him. He is and is no where as cute and adorable as you are." Claire added smiling at her lover enjoying the feeling of them being close.

There was a long pause as Claire was thinking of the best way to bring it up that he was her future husband. "My parents are pretty adamant about me marrying him. That's what this whole thing tonight is about, for them it's a business move to gain a monopoly on the east coast. My mom even lied to him saying the reason I ran off last night was I get get nervous around boys I like." Claire said her voice a little somber as it threw a giant wrench into their plans. "I didn't want to hide this from you. I have no intentions of marrying him, I want you and only you."
 
"I feel sorry for him. He thinks he's dating you Claire." Halyna sways along the silent music in Claire's arms, loving her touch and closeness. "And I should hope so. I think his stubble knocks him out of having a chance of being cute" she laughs lightly.

The silence doesn't bother Halyna and she continues swaying around in the month bathroom but her smile disappears when she hears Claire's words. Her face reddened as she became angry at hearing this. "That's just evil, they know you don't want to be with him and yet they do something like that all for few more million." Halyna looked down at her feet. "How long till you think he will propose?" She asks sadly.
 
"I don't know to be honest I'm hoping not for a while. They see nothing wrong with it, my mom was married off to my father. Her advice was you'll learn to like him and eventually love him." Claire replied holding Halyna a little closer and tighter she truly only wanted to be with her and no one else especially not a guy she had zero interest in.

"I'll but what time I can and maybe play along though i can't stomach the idea of being close like this with him." Claire added placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "Sorry to drop this on you but I love and I won't keep any secrets from you. We'll get through this together and be stronger for it."Claire said before kissing her again on the lips. "I should go back, give me a signal in fifteen." Claire whispered after giving her one last kiss before leaving the bathroom.
 
"My mom was the same though I think she's a slow learner." Halyna said with a grimace. "I'm glad they're not doing the same with me... at least not yet" she added.

Halyna looks at her lover with sad but loving eyes. It seems their world was again trying to stop them and interfere with their love. Claire's kiss sweetened her mood though. "No, you telling me about this was really amazing of you. I won't keep any secrets from you either. We don't want to end up like our parents. Even now we're in a stronger relationship than them." Halyna smiled, meeting Claire's kiss halfway.

She is saddened as Claire breaks their embrace and heads for the door. "Don't worry. Fifteen minutes and not a second more" she says giving Claire a quick kiss on the cheek.

Halyna let some time to by before leaving the bathroom herself but then returned to her own table and started on her food, never her taking her eye or ear of Claire's table though.
 
Claire returned to to the table her mother giving her an odd look as she took her seat next to Jason."Everything okay dear?" Her mother asked hoping this would not be a recurring them of the night. "Yeah just my stomach feels off must of been something I ate at the party last night."Claire responded giving herself an excuse for the multiple trips she would be taking tonight.

"It must of been the caviar they served last night I thought it tasted off. They probably cut it with a cheaper kind to save money." Mr.Griffins chimed in and clear nodded her head going along with it. The dinner continued like normal and it would be clear to Halyna that even from a distance that Claire would have rather ripped off her own ears then suffer through an more small talk. Even when their food came it it didn't dampen the conversation. There was no comfortable silience like she already had with Halyna.

The one thing that kept her going was being able to look slightly past Jason and see her true lover sitting there waiting for the next time they could meet.She wished it didn't have to be this way but it would only be temporary.
 
From her table, Halyna listened intently but soon stopped paying too much attention as she realised just how dull, boring and forced the conversation was on the table. She looked at Claire with pity and watched as her lover's resolve faded. She came to the table trying to be polite but after a few minutes, Halyna could see just how unbearable Claire was finding it. She looked down at her watch and saw that only ten minutes had gone by. "I don't think she can make fifteen" she thought to herself.

The droning went on and on with no stop even when they started eating. Halyna tried to offer Claire encouraging smiles when there eyes met but she feared even that wouldn't save her. She wondered what Claire would have done if she hadn't have been there and on the dot of fifteen minutes, she tugged at her earring and waited for Claire to excuse herself.
 
Claire saw the signal and felt better knowing she could take a small break from the living hell that was this awkward. She placed a hand on her stomach making a bit of a sour expression. "I'm sorry, I'll be back have the waiter pack up my plate don't think I can handle anything else." Claire said doing her best to act like she was sick. Her parents looked annoyed but let her go as they bought into her story. "Poor thing we were going to cancel until she felt better but she wanted to try and tough it out." Claire's mom explained lying more to help push the two of them together.

Claire felt sick partially over hearing her mother's lies and what was worse was the other family bought it hook line and sinker. "I know now what hell is."Claire said joking as her spirits came back now that the two of them were alone in the bathroom. "I seriously think I would have died from boredom if not for you."Claire added giving her lover a soft kiss and held it for a moment.
 
The relief on Claire's face was clearly visible to Halyna and she smiled herself as she layed down her cutlery to join her lover. Giving it moment, Halyna listened to the conversation on Claire's table.

"Of course, Claire would be happy to spend a weekend away with you" Claire's mother said to Jason. Halyna grimaced as she saw here mom's matchmaking in action. She dearly hopes her own mom wasn't like that when she wasn't around. Halyna couldn't make out what her mom had signed her up for but she knew it couldn't be good so she made her way to the ladies room, finding Claire waiting for her. Before Halyna could speak, Claire moved forward to kiss her and while she deeply enjoyed the kiss, she had something important to say.

When the kiss broke, she didn't waste a second. "Claire, your mom just agreed with you to go on a weekend away with Jason. I don't know where or when but Jason's dad and your dad looked very pleased at the suggestion." Her face was full of concern. She didn't know what to do.
 
Claire's mood went south fast as she felt sick to her stomach hearing what her mother was forcing on her. "Fuck."Was all Claire could mumble out at the moment as she was lost for words. She could barely stand tonight with Jason never mind a full weekend trip alone with him. Surely they would be sharing a room which and likely a bed, she knew how boys thought. There was no way she was going to be sleeping with or next to him.

Looking down and seeing Halyna's face Claire snapped back from the dread and gloom and placed her hands around her lover. She softly caressed her sides as she planted a few kisses on her. "I might just come out to them tonight and leave your name out of it. I doubt it will change much but I..we don't have many other options." Claire said softly as she tried to comfort her lover. Though there wasn't much time for that as there was a knock on the outside door. "Claire...honey are you okay in there." A familiar voice called out among the few knocks.

"Act natural I'm gonna be in a stall." Claire whispered to her as she gave her one last kiss before going into the middle stall. "I'm fine mother my stomach is just in a knot." Claire hollered out trying to deter her from coming in. Though it didn't work as the door soon swung open and she walked in. She resembled Claire only older with no signs of aging but it was clear that she had taken measures to prevent that. Claire took a deep breath knowing now she had make her story believable. She stuck a finger down her throat triggering a gag reflex to throw up into the toilet. "Mmm so you weren't faking being sick , good. Any way I have good news for you honey when you get done in there." Claire's mom said leaning against the stall.

She looked around noticing Halyna and stared at her for a while clearly trying to place where she knew her from. " Well if it isn't the Spencer brat, are you're whore parents here too. I thought this place had better standards then letting your kind in. Leave now don't want your family stealing another idea from us. Surprised your father has managed to keep the company a float or is he stealing idea from someone else?" She asked her words mocking her as she stared coldly at her motioning for her to get out. Claire had to bit down on her tongue as her hands were clenched in rage hearing her mother's words and tone.
 
Halyna hated the look that her words brought to her lover's face but they had to be said. She could only agree with Claire's assesment of the situation. "Fuck" she agreed. Halyna could only imagine the thoughts running through Claire's mind at that moment. The disgust, the feeling of betrayal, how could her parents do that to her?

Halyna responded in kind to Claire's embrace and wrapped her hands around her lover's back and met each of her kisses. They felt sad to her, so she tried to be as gentle and loving as possible.

"Are you sure it's the right time, you can't do it hear with Jason around think about the..." Halyna's words were interrupted by a sharp knocking on the door and the voice of Claire's mother. Her eyes widened and panic began to set in but Claire layed down the plan quickly and Halyna set to touching up her makeup at one of the mirrors.

Halyna felt everything was going wrong when the woman entered. Her resemblance to Claire was striking but even with access to the beat cosmetic surgeons, the evidence of surgery was visible. She crossed straight to Claire's stall and began to speak to her but just as Halyna was trying to make a hasty exit, she was recognised.

She was unprepared for the abuse that she received from that vile woman and tears began to well in eyes and her hands balled into fists. She would have liked to say something like, "My parents are the whores? That's rich coming from a bitch who's pimping out her own daughter but saying that would ruin everything so instead she kept her face low and quickly left the toilets, tears of shame and rage glistening on her cheeks.
 
Claire came out her stomaching in pain as she had forced everything she had eaten today out of of her system all for the sake of making her story believable.She looked around quickly hiding the disappointment that it was her cold and cruel mother welcoming her and not Halyna. She shambled over to the the sink using a few paper towels to clean up her face. "Good you managed to keep your hair out of it." Claire's mother commented not bothering to comfort her daughter. She wanted to slap her across the face for making her girlfriend cry but there wasn't much she could do except play along.

"Was that necessary, calling her all those names?" Claire asked trying to conceal her concern for the other girl. "Of course it was , she is a Spencer our rival. We have tried to keep you out of it but you're father will explain everything tonight. You'll need to know when you take over. Any who back to better things. Next weekend you and Jason are going on a solo trip he was so amazed by your dedication to meeting him tonight that he wants to spend time alone with you. Don't worry I accepted on you're behalf ." Her mother explained clearly more thrilled then Claire was about the idea of the two of them being alone.

"Thanks." Claire responded no being able to hide her sarcasm as she was beyond pissed at what she had done tonight both to her and Halyna. "Watch your attitude you'll thank me not now but later. This is for your own good Claire try not to mess it up. Oh and do make him work for it, we don't won't to gain a reputation of being easy. Now clean up and get back as soon as possible." She added before leaving her there.

Once alone Claire took a few moments to clean up and chew a few pieces of gum she had stashed in her purse to kill the taste of vomit in her mouth. She left the bathroom and could see Halyna was still upset. "pssst bunny outside." Claire whispered as she walked close to her table and headed out to get some fresh air.
